Part of the trilogy of memoirs that inspired the television show The Durrells in Corfu: A naturalist’s adventures with animals—and humans—on a Greek island. When his family moved to a Greek island, young naturalist Gerald Durrell was able to indulge his passion for wildlife of all sorts as he discovered the new world around him—and the creatures and people who inhabited it. Indeed, Durrell’s years growing up on Corfu would inspire the rest of his life. In addition to his tales of wild animals, Durrell recounts stories about his even wilder family—including his widowed mother, Louisa, and elder siblings Lawrence, Leslie, and Margo—with undeniable wit and humor. The final chapter in Durrell’s reflections on his family’s time in Greece before the start of World War II, The Garden of the Gods is a fascinating look at the childhood of a naturalist who was ahead of his time. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Gerald Durrell including rare photos from the author’s estate.

Are you someone who's always running late for work? Is your boss getting fed up with your generic explanations like, "I was stuck in traffic" or "I was having car troubles"? If you need to spice up your repertoire of excuses, '365 Reasons Why I'm Too Late For Work' is a must have in your arsenal of deceit. Is your boss suspicious of your latest half-assed attempt to explain your tardiness? Then hit him with a new excuse he's sure to never see coming. Try this on for size, "I got stuck in the bathtub." Or how about, "I drove the wrong way. My GPS hung upside down in my car." With a wide range of clever explanations, you have a new one to try out every day. Sure, it's not recommended to burn one every day and show up late for work for a flat year, but no one's judging.
As a warning to readers, the elaborate phrases in this book are not confirmed to exonerate your tardiness. Some are valid, boss-proof ideas that should get you off the hook, while others will test your boss's patience and sense of humor. Does your boss not possess a single humorous bone in his body? Well, excuse away at your own risk. This book does not guarantee you'll keep your job, but hey, you had a laugh, and in the end, that's what life's all about. And truthfully, how can you pass attempting a gem like, "I couldn't find a parking spot, so I've parked my car back at home and came by foot." So, embrace your tardiness with a little flair of creativity with '365 Reasons Why I'm Too Late For Work'. You'll never regret it. Well, unless you lose your job. But you probably won't... right?
